IronPigs – RISP – .088 Avg in Losses

With the ‘Pigs 11-6 and 1 game behind the Pawtucket Red Sox in the IL North, I wanted to expand a little on Dan’s earlier post with some interesting stats.  All IL team stats can be found here for your own comparison purposes.

“If winning isn’t important, why do we spend all that money on scoreboards?”

Runners left in scoring position refers to the number of runners on second or third base at the end of an inning and is an inverse measure of a team’s offensive efficiency. (Wiki)

What does it all mean? Only time will tell…

This team is loaded with young and veteran talent and while at this point there is no need to panic, the stats are interesting just the same, especially with an 11-6 record.

It’s the bullpen that appears to be keeping the ‘Pigs near the top of the standings for the most part. Stay tuned for a future post about the ‘pen.

There have also been some un-timely errors that have cost the IronPigs a few games. At this point, we’ll just chalk that up to being in the early part of the season.

Let’s hear from all the “unemployed analysts” out there with your opinions!
